About the Item

From the dark, she rises. An eerie turquoise glow intermingles with the colors from the nude body of a woman, at least a part of a woman. Her breasts and arms breach the reflection’s surface transforming her into a series of lines and curves. Her nude form haunts us, immortalizing this ephemeral moment into a nightmarish scene by Salvador Dali’s rethinking of 80 renowned works of Francisco Goya. We cannot help but be enticed despite our fear. “Capricho” is a part of Alex Sher’s popular series "Reflections" - underwater photographs that could be almost mistaken for abstract paintings as they bring up recollections of masterpieces by Picasso, Dali or Gustav Klimt. In fact "Reflections" are straight photographic capturing of the water’s surface from below, with a submerged underwater camera. The photographs freeze natural momentary reflections in water surface - the unique kaleidoscopic fragmentations of human body into nearly unrecognizable forms. It is these bold accents of color, mesmerizing textures, dramatic lines, and distinctive distortions that make Sher’s works unique highly advisable masterpieces. Original gallery quality archival pigment print on archival paper signed by the artist, furnished with certificate of authenticity. Paper size: 23.3" x 36" Image size 25" x 36" Limited edition of 12.

Later in US he began experimenting with underwater photography and sharply moved toward figurative fine art.

Sher’s photography began to attract extensive interest in 2015. To date, his works have been exhibited in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other major cities including the Louvre Museum in Paris. His first solo show was held in 2016 in Los Angeles by Bruce Lurie Gallery. Since his debut, Sher had seven exclusive exhibitions, participated in numerous group exhibitions and prominent art fairs.
